The three things in Seattle I wish I had seen at some point...

I lived in Seattle for three years, and it was wonderful the whole time.  The horrible ex, the money issues, and the occasional issues with work had their part in the experience, but over-all, it was a wonderful experience.  The only thing I regret is being so busy that I wasn't able to experience everything.

So here is my list of things I wish I had seen.  Starting with the most obnoxious one...

The house Kurt Cobain killed himself in...
I lived at 6th and Yesler for a year and a half and had about three different people ask me for directions to this house.  It's a sort of pilgrimage site, but only for those (a) over the age of 30, and (b) willing to admit they love Grunge in a town that desperately wants to forget that part of its past.  It's one of the few places I never got around to, and it seems like something I shouldn't have missed.

The f****** Space Needle...
I never saw the space needle.  Paying $18 to go to the top of something that was very high just didn't really appeal to me.  I also have a fear of heights.  That being said, having lived there 3 years, this is probably the biggest thing to have missed.

BUT!  I did go to the tattoo convention that was hosted there in 2009! I think that's even better!

The Fremont Troll...

This is just something I feel like I should have seen.  EVERYONE I knew who may not have gone to the space needle had at least jogged past this!

I blame school for not posting sooner...

School ended up kicking my butt.  Let me tell you a little about it...

I came back from Seattle to SoCal to go back to school (while mooching off of my parents as little as possible).  I finished my last semester at a community college (despite having an AA) and made it into Cal State Fullerton!  I am now in the process of earning my BA in Comparative Religious Studies with a double minor in Islamic and Jewish studies.  I don't know what my plan as soon as I get my BA is, but I'm working with either (a) attempting a scholarship to a decent school, or (b) moving back to Seattle and trying to get a job out there.

Needless to say, 1 major, 2 minors, part time work, club activity, volunteer working, and maintaining a 3.94 GP (yep, I'm proud) has kept me busy...also, I forgot the URL for this page.

But I'm back and will be annoying the heck out of anyone who cares to read these posts.
